Things To Do In Vancouver Island.
July 22, 2014
"A Perfect Eden" is what James Douglas declared Vancouver Island as back in 1842 and still to this day, Vancouver Island lives up to it. With one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world and consisting of mountains, oceans, beaches, meadows, marshes, rainforest, rivers and lakes, Vancouver Island offers habitat to multitudes of wildlife species. It�s one of the world�s most premier locations for whale watching, birding as well as salmon and trout fishing. Vancouver Islands offers an array of astounding experiences whether it comes to enjoying the cultural aspects of a fine metropolitan city or exploring the wildlife and rainforests of the region. And if these were not enough, Vancouver Islands also is a home to over 40 golf courses and over 30 wineries! So whether you are on a staycation or have come from afar, this place definitely has a lot to offer to help you relax and rejuvenate.
In a location with diverse recreational options such as Vancouver Island, it is important to know the things we can do to have the most fun. Just to mention a few of the many options, you can start with biking and hiking. You can bike on a huge wooden rail bridge on the Cowichan Valley Trail. Or you can cycle through the gulf islands or through the wineries in Saanich Peninsula. Hiking enthusiasts on the other hand can choose from easier trails like Mount Washington Alpine Resort or Wild Pacific or move on to the more advanced trails like Cape Scott, Nootka Island, West Coast or Mount Arrowsmith.
Moving on to water activities you can scuba dive at locations like Barley Sound, Browning Wall and Discovery Pass. Best diving conditions are during fall and winter. For kayaking, Johnstone Strait and Broughton Archipelago are prime ocean locations. For canoeing you can go to Sayward Forest or Cowichan Lake. You can river raft at the rivers Nimpkish, Campbell or Southgate. Whale watching tours can be found at places like Tofino, Ucluelet, Telegraph Cove, Alert Bay, Port McNeill, Campbell River and Victoria.
In winters, there are activities like skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing. Mount Washington and Stratchcona Provincial Park are the key areas for these activities. To enjoy wildlife you can visit places like Knight Inlet for grizzly bears, or places like Somenos Marsh Wildlife Refuge, Courtenay River Estuary, Pacific Northwest Raptors, Swan Lake, Esquimalt Lagoon and Goldstream Provincial Park for bird watching.
Other tourist attractions include a large number of museums like Royal BC Museum and Maritime Museum of British Columbia to know more about the history of the province or museums like Quw�ustun Cultural Centre and U�mista Cultural Centre where you can gaze through the artefacts from the Kwakwaka'wakw people.
The beauty of Vancouver Island is truly indescribable. And there is much more than any person cover in just a couple of days. Tourists who have been here, still keep discovering more each time. Visit museums and heritage sites, enjoy live theatre, browse art galleries, tour vineyards or be pampered in luxury spas. It is one of the most perfect holiday destinations!
Coupon Deals Victoria � Coupon etiquette
July 22, 2014
By now everyone knows the basics of using coupons and deals whether it is off the internet or using coupon inserts. Redeeming those coupons can be the utmost adventure for most shoppers. There is however some basic etiquette to be followed in the process of redeeming coupons, which ensures the best possible experience to all people involved. The following tips are not only to be followed in Victoria but across Vancouver Island. Please understand that couponing should be always aimed to be a smart and fulfilling experience or to explore a new business and not just for the sake of saving some dollars.

New Employees Introduction!
July 17, 2014
We�ve got some new faces and family over here at the Island Daily Deals fortress. Adding to the brute strength of our IDD force is the summer intern, Chris Erickson. However, at first sight you may believe that he is an intern for the Island Daily Deals Bodyguard Squad. From weight-lifting to basketball to semi - competitive cycling, it�s safe to say he can back up his words with his actions. Soon to be a graduate from the University of Victoria Commerce program, now is his time to get the exposure he needs to build on his background in marketing and communications. We are considering hiring him as a member of the elite security team when the intern period is over.
Then we have our Brendon Bertolini � and there�s more to him than the musical sounding name. Brendon Bertolini (imagine a thick accent from the neighbourhood butcher in Naples) is of 28 years of age and has educational and work experience in the filmography industry. From a producer to marketer to the best video gamer we�ve got our hands on yet, Mr. Bertolini is a welcome addition to the team. He�s all set to bring his exotic business skills up to the plate.
So, with our tribe of marketing professionals now embellished by the presence of an official bodyguard and a specialist audio/video engineer, we�re looking to step up the already exciting deals that Island Daily Deals features each week!
